BOTH STDESSTA.VD FEEu.
Only One More Attempt to be Made
Sottle.the Iron Scale.

PITTsBURG, Pa, June 22.-The joint
scale committee of the iron workers and
manufacturers will make another at
tempt to settle the wage question this
afternoon. agreement is not consid
cred probable, however, as both sides
seem determined to stand by their re-
spective scales. The workmen want 10
per cent. advance, and the masters offer
last years scale. with a few slight reduc-
tons and notifications. IF the matter
is not settled in few days there will be
general strike.
At this mornings session of the Anal
gamated Association, resolution was
adopted authorizing the president to APP
point committee to arrange scale of
wages for steel workers which will be
incorporated in the regular scale. At
present the Amalgamated Association
has no steel scale, and the wages ofsteel
workers are fixed at the conference held
in December. The object Of the resolu-
ton is to have two scales arranged at the
same time instead of six months apart
as at present.

From the New York Star,

From the New York Star.
Manning Logan and John A. Logan,
Jr., are one and the same. By his
immediate family he is pretty sure to
be called Manning, but in business cir
cles he will, without doubt, soon be
recognized as John A. Logan. Young
Logan is growing to look very much
like his father. Indeed, the reaem-
blance is quite marked. His fathers
death has made him quite thoughtful,
and given him serious realization of
life. He is now as much older than
his years as he seemed younger before
that sorrow came upon him with such
suddenness. All that was light and
volatile in his nature before has given
place to settled, steady purpose.
His consideration for his mother and
strength of character aJ once devel-
oped, and his proving a real support
to Mrs. Logan has been observed with
surprise by those who knew her pre-
vious self-reliant independence. He
has been fortunate in the choice of a
wife. who is as sensible as sheis charm
ing.

IL the allegations made by the citi-
zens OF the Chickasaw Nation have
any foundation in fact, the impeach-
ment of Gov. Grey is a foregone con-
clusion. A certain railroad company
offered the council twenty cents each
for railroad ties, to be cut from tim
Der in the territory. The council re-
fused the offer and then the governor
gave the privilege to the company at
ten cents q tie. Somebody made
some money in the transaction.

II WAS, A BIG STEAL.
Fidelity Bank Patrons Robbed of TIE
Million Dollars.

f1dellty Bank Patrons Robbed Of Ten
Million Dollars.
CINCINNATI, o., June 23.---The street
| excitement about the Fidelity Bank has
| nearly subsidized this morning. The
bank examiner, Gen. Powell, is still in
charge. Mr.. DeCamp, who has been
named as receiver. will probably decline
the appointment, as an acceptance would
| compel him to give up his present con-
nection with the Metropolitan National
Bank. The liabilities of the Fidelity
Bank are now expected to- reach $6.CO0,-
600, and those of e. L. Harper. e. L..
Harper & Co., the Swift Iron Works,
and the Riverside Rolling Mill will
reach from 100000 to "a 100000, MAX
inga total of $8,000,O00 to Sic, GOO, 900.
Interest is turning to the question of
| what assets can, be made available for
the debts of the bank. If the president
and directors can be assessed to the ex-
tent of their resources, it will produce
about 81 300, 900, at O. rough estimate.
The second arrest of Harper, Baldwin
and Hopkins occurred yesterday after
noon at 4io'clock. They were taken be-
fore the United States commissioner,
who fixed their bonds at SIS, 900 each.
There was considerable trouble expert
enCed in securing b0ndsmen, as conf
dence in the great Cincinnati manipula-
tors Of other peoples, money was not so
solid as on Tuesday. The trio sat dis
consulate in the marshal's Office until
nearly dark with the prospect of night
behind the bars extremely probable.
At last, however, bondsmen were
secured. The arrested directors are
charged with fraudulently issuing draft
for $600,0O0, involving the Chemical
National Bank of New York and the
American National Bank of Chicago, in
favor of Wiltshire, Eckert & Co. There
have been no further arrests this morn
ing and no new developments. 1t will
necessarily require much time and labor
to make d through examination.
The board of directors of the Chamber
ofCommerce, at meeting to-day, ap-
pointed acommittee of three to investi-
gate rumors of unmercantile conduct on
the part of E. l.. Harper, Ammi Bald
win, Benz. E. Hopkins and others con-
nected with the Fidelity National Bank,
and to prefer charges against them in
case the proofs warrant such proceed
ings. The chairman of the committee,
Mr.. Goodale, asks for any information
pertinent to the matter, from every
source.
Mr.. Trenholm, comptroller of the cur
rency, has arrived and has taken charge
of the Fidelity Bank. More arrests are
probable to-day.

SINCE the New York Legislature
passed the bill permitting gambling at
certain seasons Of the year on race
tracks, on condition that the state
receive percentage of the profits,
but with restrictions to prevent pool
selling off the race courses, the New
York courts have swept aside the re-
stricting clause, and pools can be
sold anywhere. Thus the New York
Legislature has legalized gambling on
condition that the state be taken in
as side partner.

The s'cloture" rule in the British
Parliament, as at present exercised,
is a deliberate fraud upon and inva-
sion Unconstitutional privileges. Itc can
not be denied that there is expediency
in providing for the termination o
that which merely obstructive OBJ
stinacy might convert into an inter
minable debate; but the machinery
for go doing should be controlled by
at least three-fourths of the whole
number of members. At present the
scheme confers absolutism on mere
majority, condition of affairs which
must breed tyranny.

THE unusual sight of railway be-
ing stripped of it's track and aban-
doned has been witnessed i'll Ohio In
the case of the Cincinnati, Columbus
& Hooking Valley, locally known as
the Grasshopper Road. It's twenty
five miles Of track, although lying in
the heart of one of the richest states
in the union, long ago proved un-
profitable, and after lying idle for
some time the rails and ties were sold
by the owner, Chicago capitalist,
for what they would bring, and have
been taken up and carried away. AL
though the roadbed remains, it does
not verify the assertion sometimes
made that a railway once opened can
never stop its operation.

sion of Chemicals.
MANCHESTER, Eng. June PA ter
rife explosion occurred in Robert, Dale
& Co.'S. chemical works in this city to-
day. which destroyed the building. The
ruins took fire and the flames spread to
Pomona Palace. Windows for miles
around were smashed by the force of
the. explosion. The explosion occurred
in large retort containing picric acid.
The iron plates of which the retort was
constructed were blown great distance.
Many houses near the factory were
partially demolished by the explosion
and it is feared that many persons were
killed. The burning ruins threw out an
intense heat and the fremen found it
impossible to approach the fire. The
military assisted the fireman. A large
number of workmen were scalded by
the acid or injured by the falling debris.

The Dominion, Government Prepared for
Rebellion.

WINNIPEG. Man., June 23.-The Do
minion government is firmly deter
mined, at all; hazards, to prevent the
building of a.. railway to the boundary
line, and will crush out the disaffection
in Manitoba. The construction of the
road will be begun in about ten days,
and if the Dominion uses force there
will probably be a rebellion. The Do
minion authorities have force of l 100
regulars in the Northwest, 900 of them
being mounted police In the territories,
and 100 members of the infantry school
in Winnipeg. The mounted police have
their hands full in keeping the Indians
in subsection in the territories. The
Ninetieth Battalion of militia of this
city has been ordered to hold themselves
in readiness to be ordered out, but this
action is supposed to be in connection
with threatened trouble among the In
dams of the West. Were they ordered
out to prevent the construction of the
road they would simply fatty refuse.
